This local hotspot has indoor and outdoor areas and is a bit less packed come winter time. The drinks are reasonably priced and when you buy a drink, you get a ticket which will get you a free personal pizza! Plus, there are specials everyday including free omelets on Sundays.

This spot is open 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM seven days a week and is a true local watering hole because it is in a basement of a house in a residential neighborhood. The venue has darts, bingo, live music, a great craft beer selection and a pretty good bar food menu. (Word on the street -- try the pork roll fries)

This hotspot has a vast amount of beers on tap and German-themed appetizers but the biggest highlight is their rooftop igloos that can be rented all winter long. Grab 8 to 10 of your closest friends because you must spend a minimum of $200 but each igloo comes with a full service table so between food and alcohol, that should be pretty easy. To book your reservation, call (732) 997-8767.

This upscale restaurant is on the second floor of the Asbury Park boardwalk and has a gorgeous view of the beach which offers a cozy romantic vibe. They have a fireplace, house-infused cocktails and will give you a glimpse of the gorgeous outdoors without having to fight the cold

This spot is one I actually added to the list myself. The indoor décor and vibe is cozy, relaxing but chic. There are two bars, specials every single day and comfy seats so you can sit down and enjoy a classy dinner. There is also a pretty lively nightlife so you get the best of both worlds.

PLUS...when we posted this piece, we got an influx of responses of bars that we missed that should be on this list. Take a look at what the Jersey Shore had to say:
